hi,
i'm working with a drupal installation i had to duplicate to a subfolder, and after doing:
- create a new database
- copy a new drupal 6 installation into htdocs/2ndwebsite
- fresh install on drupal 6 - www.mywebsite.com/2ndwebsite - same user/password for admin!
- and then import the original database to the new one

i found out that in order to use the website as admin i had to add /?q=admin instead of /admin every time i open the page, otherwise i get "page not found" (not the 404 white one, the one with my web theme), and that i can't access any page that has /content in it. what shall i do to fix this problem? i'd like to be able to enter every page just by clickin on it, not having to add ?q= everytime

Any suggestions?

Have you cleared the drupal performance cache?.

stokks’s picture

you mean "flush all caches" in the admin bar? he doesn't let me do that, because the link would be http://www.website.com/2ndwebsite/admin_menu/flush-cache?destination=adm...

and i can't access any page that isn't with /admin at the beginning (and as i said, i should change it to ?q=admin)

i tried by deleting the pathauto module, but still not working...

how can i fix this?

Check your Apache configuration if the mod_rewrite is enabled or not.

Check the following URL for better understanding.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/

Please login to the admin and disable clean urls, using the URL ?q=admin/settings/clean-urls. If the system is working, then you can confirm the issue with Apache configuration.

Also, drupal suggests for clearing the cache before database backup or migration.

i tell what i did, i inserted #$conf['clean_url'] = 0; in settings.php, and then every page worked fine with using automatically ?q= to open.

then i made a "flush all the caches", and went to ?q=admin/settings/clean-urls, uncommented the line in settings.php, activate the clean urls and saved. and again the page without ?q= doesn't work,... how can i fix this to have clean urls working?

Have you checked your apache settings with mod_rewrite? Please go through the following URL for more clarification.
http://drupal.org/getting-started/clean-urls

hi, i've already been searching in that node, but couldn't find a solution. Actually, since i have a website on htdocs in apache (for windows), the main one, and another one in htdocs/2ndwebsite, i get clean URLs without any problem on the main website, but can't get them to work on the new one i just copied. The only way i can browse pages in it have been adding the line to settings.php

$conf['clean_url'] = 0;

but then i'm stuck and don't know how to activate clean URLs (since i added that line, if i browse to the page of clean URLs, the options "activate" and "desactivate" are now greyed out), can anybody help me with this?

drupaldev@assyst’s picture

I am not much familiar with windows apache configuration.

If you are running both website from the same apache webserver, may be the following is added specifically for your first website like.


Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
RewriteEngine On

Add the same for your second website and restart apache

If the above is not working, then please send your apache module list in httpd.conf with the "" config block.

this is my httpd.conf file:

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.
# In particular, see 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "C:/Apache2.2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "C:/Apache2.2/logs/foo.log".
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which httpd.exe is located
# will be used by default.  It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths to avoid confusion.

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "C:/Apache2.2"

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

Please remove the starting # tag from httpd.conf file for the following line.
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Also in the "<Directory>" pointing to your apache root folder ( Assume that "<Directory C:/Apache2.2/htdocs>"), update the line

AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

Then restart your apache and try. I hope this will resolve your issue.

hi, i tried your solution, but didn't manage to solve my problem, actually i had to delete those changings, because otherwise i couldn't navigate the website (i was getting 404 blank page all the time)....

any other suggestions?
